I like dogs... to EAT.
« on: October 21, 2006, 08:14:00 pm »
I just noticed something.  Is there any difference, in the game, between a dwarf liking an animal as a pet, liking that animal as clothing, or liking it to eat?  There doesn't seem to be, and that's strange.  Someone who likes dogs as a pet is unlikely to appreciate dog-meat biscuits or dog-bone jewelry.

Maybe liking an animal as a pet should be seperate from liking them as food?  A dwarf might like how cows look and sound, without liking the taste of beef...  and dwarves could want gatorskin handbags without wanting to keep one as a pet or to feast on gator-meat.

If it's not working in the good way, it's a bug.  There are three separate preferences, and they are (supposedly) applied at different times, using either the material preference check, the eating preference check or the pet preference check.

Ah.  I guess I just didn't notice.
